Detectives sought clues from the public Tuesday as they investigated the fatal shooting of a 67-year-old man in Llano.
The shooting was reported about 6:10 a.m. Sunday in the 30700 block of 165th Street East, according to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.
Deputies responding to a 911 call reporting an assault with a deadly weapon found the victim on the front porch suffering from a gunshot wound, authorities said.
Los Angeles County Fire Department paramedics pronounced the man dead at the scene. His name was not immediately released.
“While investigating the shooting call, Palmdale Sheriff’s Station deputies also responded to a carjacking call in the same area,” according to an LASD statement. ” The suspect who committed the carjacking was arrested for that charge and is currently a person of interest only in the murder investigation.”
Anyone with information about the shooting was asked to call the sheriff’s Homicide Bureau at 323-890-5500. Anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers at 800-222-8477 or lacrimestoppers.org.
